Hey HN! I'm one of the co-founders of Weave, and I wanted to jump in here to share a bit more.
Building this has been a wild ride. The challenge of measuring engineering output in a way that’s fair and useful is something we’ve thought deeply about—especially because so many of the existing metrics feel fundamentally broken.
The 0.94 correlation is based on rigorous validation with several teams (happy to dive into the details if anyone’s curious). We’re also really mindful that even the best metrics only tell part of the story—this is why our focus is on building a broader set of signals and actionable insights as the next step.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or even skepticism—it’s all helpful as we keep refining the product.
Thinking about it differently by focusing on individuals as opposed to teams/projects...interesting! Gave me some fun insights on my git... will try to connect my other systems.
